I suspect you're talking about some open source you've found somewhere on the internet. I kind of write some myself. And when I think they may benefit to other people, I share them. Remember that these tools are often built to address one particular problem for a single guy in a particular context. And this guy nicely shares them with the world, for free in case they could help someone else.

But they owe you nothing.
